Retrieving list of categories for a given project via OSLC
I am attempting to create a work item using OSLC. In order to identify the category to file against, I am able to use the following request to retrieve ALL categories (across projects):
https://appserver.ibm.com:19443/ccm/oslc/categories
This works fine in v3.0.1.3 and v4.0 RC4a.
I would rather retrieve just those for a particular project area. I attempted the following URL:
https://appserver.ibm.com:19443/ccm/oslc/categories?oslc.select=rtc_cm:projectArea,dcterms:title,rtc_cm:hierarchicalName&oslc.where=rtc_cm:projectArea="_kvL7cKQdEeG8FJTW-G_Mfg"
It works fine in v3.0.1.3. However, in v4.0 RC4a (I originally observed this error in v4.0 RC1a), I get the following error:
Illegal argument 'Project Area': _kvL7cKQdEeG8FJTW-G_Mfg
with a oslc:statusCode of 400
Is there another way to retrieve categories in a given project area?
Thanks,
Prem.

FOUND THE ANSWER:
https://SERVER:PORT/jazz/oslc/categories.xml?oslc_cm.query=rtc_cm:projectArea="PROJECTID"
Note that you may need to replace "jazz" with "ccm".

I can successfully pull all of the categories for the "Rational Team Concert" project area out of jazz.net with
https://jazz.net/jazz/oslc/categories.xml?oslc_cm.query=rtc_cm:projectArea="_1w8aQEmJEduIY7C8B09Hyw"
I determined the project area ID by going to the project area web UI and getting the item id from the URI. I need to specify
Accept: application/json in the request headers, otherwise I get an HTTP 406. 1 vote

Another way could be using the reportable RestAPI.
See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ReportsRESTAPI
Querying on the nested property name of dcterms:title of the Project Area, this worked for me on 4.0.3:
Request Headers:
OSLC-Core-Version=2.0
Content-Type=text/xml
Accept=application/xml (Although text/xml, text,json also work as expected)
GET:
https://localhost:9443/jazz/oslc/categories?oslc.select=dcterms:title&oslc.where=rtc_cm:projectArea{dcterms:title="The Project Name"}
With reference to:
http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/OSLCCoreSpecQuery

For RTC 4.0.6, the correct request is
https://<server>:<port>/ccm/oslc/categories?oslc.where=rtc_cm:projectArea="https://<server>:<port>/ccm/oslc/projectareas/<projectId>"Basically, you can GET a category first and find out which attribute is for the project area and what the value looks like, then construct the "oslc.where" bit accordingly.

Jul 04 '12, 11:34 a.m.Same here. Works fine in 3.0.1 and fails in RTC 4.0 GA. I either get 400 or 500 error. Wondering what has changed. No information yet on this
